FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
Key discussions have been initiated on revamping the Civilization Studies Program, and these have been undertaken in the context of the ongoing self-study review and in terms of follow ups on the forum and workshop that took place on May 5, 2016, in addition to earlier deliberations that lead to them. Various ideas were suggested, such as: the restructuring of the core courses CVSP 201-205 to be in line with thematic CVSP humanities courses, or the potential introduction of a new (or parallel) core curriculum in history and philosophy of science, medicine, and technology in line with general education at AUB, or the prospect of developing a new track in the core courses on non-European civilizations. Reflections on these issues, in addition to other proposals, will continue over 2016-2017.
